I believe it can be toasty in the summer. But winters + 90 min from the beach are ok.

Temecula is nowhere near the Imperial Valley. Lot’s of traffic though.

I’d ignore the last point and choose Oak Hills area of Provo, Midway or Oakley.

I stopped at a McDonald’s once in Elko and all the locals looked like they had radiation positioning. 0/10.

Thats your problem. You should have eaten at the Carls Jr instead.

Is the radiation positioning where you're flat on your back, not breathing?
